 A rookie Los Angeles cop is on the run after police in nearby Pomona called him a person of interest in the early Friday shooting death of a man at a local nightclub. Cops on Sunday found the abandoned silver Volkswagen Jetta belonging to 27-year-old Henry Solis, a probationary officer with the LAPD, just blocks from the Vive Tequila Lounge and Nightclub in Pomona, a city about 30 miles east of Los Angeles. Officers have been searching for Solis since Friday, when 23-year-old Salome Rodriguez Jr. was shot dead at Third St. and Main St. around 3:30 a.m. The two reportedly got into an altercation at the club before the deadly shooting outside the building. A mortally wounded Rodriguez ran bleeding from the scene for about a block before collapsing in a parking lot, according to the Los Angeles TImes. He’d been shot five times - twice in the abdomen, twice in the left leg and once in the lower neck - by a skilled shooter who “did a good job,” a source told the Times. “The shots were on point,” the source told the paper. Solis was off-duty at the time of the shooting but “has failed to report to work since the murder took place,” Pomona police said. “Solis’ whereabout is unknown, and we have reason to believe that he knows the police are looking to talk with him,” the department said. Solis was assigned in December to the Devonshire Division in the San Fernando Valley and had yet to complete his probationary period as an officer. He’d had “no disciplinary issues” since joining the force, an officer told the Times. “He was a good officer, as far as we know,” Lt. Ronald McDonald at the Pomona Police Department told the TImes. “Whatever happened, happened.” The victim’s grieving mom said her son was a warehouse worker out Thursday night with co-workers. Rodriguez, of Ontario, Calif., was also a missionary at the St. Catholic Church in L.A., the bereft woman said. The family has raised more than $6,000 on a GoFundMe site to help pay funeral costs. "My son had a good heart. I'd like to say the heart of gold. When he was little, he'd close his eyes and pray to God and that's what makes me strong. He knew God alive and now he's with God now," Lidia Rodriguez told KABC-TV. Admin Note: Anyone with information on Solis’ whereabouts is asked to call the Pomona Police Department’s Detective Bureau at 909-620-2085.

I decided to make this a breaking news case since it's now made national headlines. Of course this isn't the first time the LAPD went after one of their own as this is roughly two years after the Chris Dorner manhunt. It should be stressed right now Solis is just a person of interest, but he needs to show up to answer his brothers in blue's questions.

The LAPD has officially fired Henry Solis. abc7.com/news/lapd-fires-rookie-officer-suspected-in-pomona-murder/561983/As we've seen on AMW, ex-cops are incredibly difficult to capture, as evidenced by Dan Heirs, Eddie Hicks and Casey Roe remaining on the run for a long time and John Addis never being caught before his death. But with the exception of Casey Roe, most cops profiled on AMW that go on the run are experienced. The one thing we have going here is Henry Solis was only a rookie, and may not have developed the street-smarts other cops would have just yet. I believe he can be captured. Fair or unfair, many police controversies have dominated the news. Getting one of the alleged bad cops off the street that gives an otherwise honorable profession a bad name would go a long way for both the public and officers as well. |

I would also add Dewey Daniels to that list. Solis will be harder of locate if he fled to Mexico but a rookie officer shouldn't be that difficult to capture. |

I've also read Solis is an ex-Marine so admittedly that probably gives him some more street survival skills. However, I'm comparing it to other cop turned fugitive cases. There's no telling who stays on the run and who gets caught sometimes. Sometimes a guy you think will only take a week takes 15 years and other guys who seem on the more difficult side take 5 days. I'm not saying Solis will be a quick capture, rookie or not he might be in a foreign country and likely has developed some street smarts even if it's limited compared to others from his various service experience, but the odds are better than other ex-cop cases at least. And I hope for his alleged victim's family sake this manhunt ends soon.
